AudioQuest Red River Interconnect Cable

Solid PSC conductors minimize signal distortion by providing a smooth, pure surface for the audio signal to travel along. Unlike stranded cables, which can cause electrical and magnetic interaction between strands, solid conductors maintain a cleaner, more consistent signal path.

The NDS acts as a shield that prevents radio frequency interference (RFI) from reaching your equipment's ground reference. By blocking this external noise, the cable ensures that the signal remains clean and free from the interference that often causes background hiss or hum.

Solder is a common point of signal degradation because it is a different metal than the wire and plug, which can create a bottleneck for the signal. Cold-welding creates a high-pressure connection that keeps the signal path pure and avoids the distortion often introduced by solder joints.

Triple-Balanced Geometry means the cable uses separate conductors for the positive and negative signals, as well as a dedicated ground path. This design ensures that both the positive and negative signals have low-distortion paths, resulting in a more balanced and accurate sound reproduction.

No, this specific version of the Red River cable is equipped with XLR connectors. Please ensure your audio components, such as your amplifier and pre-amplifier, have balanced XLR inputs and outputs before purchasing.

This insulation material is used to maintain the precise physical relationship between the conductors. By keeping the conductors perfectly spaced, it ensures consistent impedance along the entire length of the cable, which is critical for preserving signal integrity.
